Maintenance
Replacing the Seal
The seal is what keeps the FJ-CP1 watertight. Make sure that the seal is free
of foreign matter before each use, and check the case for leaks before us-
ing the camera under water. A leak may indicate that the seal is damaged,
stretched, or has lost elasticity and should be replaced as described below.
Replacing the Seal
The seal requires periodic replacement. Replace the seal immediately if it is dam-
aged, cracked, warped, or has lost its elasticity. The seal should be replaced at least
once a year. Do not use O-ring lubricant (grease).
Remove the seal
Insert your fi nger into the notch and remove the
seal as shown.
Do Not Use Force or Sharp Objects
The case may leak if the seal is forcibly stretched
or damaged through the use of edged or pointed
objects, including fi ngernails and metal tools.
Inspect the seal guide
Use a blower or cotton swab to remove any for-
eign objects from all parts of the case that come
into contact with the seal. Be sure to remove any
threads left behind by the swab.
Inspect the seal
Remove any foreign matter with tissue paper or
a soft, dry cloth, taking care not to leave tissue
or threads on the seal. Gently bend the seal to
check for cracking or other damage.
